The Magoma Project

 

The Magoma Project is the project I'll be working for 9 months in Tanzania, from August 2011 to April 2012.

The project is located in the village of Magoma in northeastern Tanzania, about 465 km from Dodoma, Tanzania's capital. 

The Magoma Project began in July 2010 with a mission to integrate farming into education, an emphasis on sustainability and a commitment to self empowerment. The strategy is to utilize schools as community centers to teach innovation, nutrition, environmental conservation, and market-oriented thinking. 

Rather than simply giving donations to meet community needs, the Magoma Project develops tools and knowledge to enable the community to provide for its own needs and actively involve local people to build a project sustainable in the long run future.
